Officially open!

The Arythmics band, stilt dancers, flag waver and hooper extraordinaire paraded the guests from the Ward's Island ferry docks to Willow Square, celebrating the installation of the restored Victorian-style Landing Stage and the completion of the Willow Square project. Thanks to the ongoing support of many Islanders and friends the space has been transformed from a garbage transfer site and parking lot into a community hub.
It took a village to create a Square!
